  • advice for low maintaince plot due to pregnancy

    Hi, (so long since I've been on here can't remember username)

    Haven't been on here for ages due to a few failed pregnancies and bad pelvis and haven't really been able to work my allotment. So I'm now after some advice.I'm three months pregnant and due in march 2011, with the possibility that my pelvis will get bad again.

    Thanks to the school holidays I have some little helpers so I thought I would try to get them to work a bed at a time. I have some organic manure left which I thought they could us to top up the beds to get them ready for next year. Is there anything I can get them to sow etc that will be easy for me and them to manage.

    I have 18 beds all 12ft by 4ft which at the moment are under black plastic, some need weeding others aren't too bad. I also have a 20ft x14ft polytunnel which has 16 tomato plants in it, the only thing I have been able to keep up with growing.

    My only thoughts were to plant garlic and over wintering onion sets, sow some carrots and maybe spinach. I have loads of saved pea seeds so I guess I could sow them in October, although have never tried doing that before.

    Welcome back to the Vine, Mumof4!

    There is an honoured tradition on the vine to point fellow grapes to Supersprout's original thread on growing when you can't get to the beds so easily and techniques for dealing with this. Have a read.

      Many thanks that's given me something to think about. My Mil suggested plug plants but I think I'm a bit to late to order any but might look at the local garden centre as their prices aren't too bad.

        Hmmm - I noticed a offer from Suttons for a whole batch of over winter plug plants in the paper today - their winter veg collection - 36 plug plants and 4 packets of seeds.
        You could try googling them - my connection is a bit iffy at the moment otherwise I'd have posted a link for you!
